Gauges
If I ever get a F600 dash panel I want to get some SW Power Series gauges. With the burgandy circle, or the green line series.

What do you all think?
I like the retro look my self.

Re: Gauges
They are 2-1/16 gauges and i mounted them with the hardware that came with them i had to cut the factory hole to make them fit.

Re: Gauges
I have my eye on those green line gauges as well. I was just looking at them again last night. Pricey, but they look soooooo good!

Re: Gauges
I used a plasma cutter to do the cuts then i used a file and some small grinding wheels to get it perfect.SoCalExile wrote:What did you use to cut the holes?

Re: Gauges
Anyone have first hand experience with these??
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/67-68-69 ... 35aa099eca
The low cost of that entire set with everything included is very very tempting... I have searched online for reviews regarding Dolphin gauges and found mixed reviews. Some dont like them or dont trust them, while others have installed them and had no problems. The only consistent complaint seems to be that the supplied lights are not very bright. But that can be fixed by LED replacements or brighter bulbs.
Anyway, does anyone have any personal experience with Dolphin? (Not trying to hijack the thread, just figured this was a relevant thread to ask about them..

Re: Gauges
Wish someone would chime in, after seeing them on Ebay a few times with the bezel and all I've considered getting them for my truck when the time comes around to do the interior in my truck. They really do seem like a great deal and if I bought them like they are in that link then I don't have to worry about fabbing up a bezelCalfdemon wrote:Anyone have first hand experience with these??
